I work full-time in K9 search, rescue and recovery with VK9 Scent Specific Search and Recovery (VK9 SSSAR). We specialize in working with law enforcement on aged and contaminated abduction and missing person cases. VK9 SCENT SPECIFIC SEARCH AND RECOVERY www.vk9sar.org

VK9 provides "specialized K9 support" to law enforcement agencies across the nation with the use of our K9’s in several different search and recovery venues including, but not limited to: abductions, missing person cases and homicides. Our K9's are also able to do aged (old) work in live scent trailing / tracking, airscent, evidence / article recovery (all of which can be scent-specific) and cadaver work (both land and water). A more comprehensive list of services is provided on the VK9 website.

Our specialty is to be able to work older cases with the use of secondary scent, aged trails, and vehicle trails. We do extensive work in scent matching to identify if a matching scent is present at target locations. Additionally, our K9’s will provide a negative indication when scent is not present to the K9. We have worked many cases successfully using our techniques.

AI+RRNET is the coordinating center for tactical aerial imagery used in missing person search, rescue and recovery work on both land and water.
The high resolution imagery is obtained under guidance from AI+RRNET and relayed for analysis to VIASAR labs in Ohio where it is analyzed by professional analysts.

AI+RRNET provides both the coordinated SAR team mission planning and the link to digital imagery and analysis. AI+RRNET also deploys hasty teams in the area of the search. This simple idea / technique has led to victims being found on many occasions.
